Students from St Matthew’s school have won an award for

their outstanding singing abilities. The school, located on Old Pye Street, was

also named as a ‘platinum singing school’ by the Sing Up Awards.

The awards aim to recognise schools that put singing at the

heart of their learning activities, giving pupils the opportunity to express

themselves by singing as soloists in front of their classmates or as part of

groups.

The St Matthew’s students were presented with their award

last Friday at their Christmas carol service, which was held at the St

Matthew’s Church in Great Porter Street.

The award was officially endorsed by Jan Wilson, who

represented the Westminster Music Service. The students were highly praised for

their commitment to singing, especially their ability to perform a wide range

of songs.

The students were given a certificate, plaque and banner to

mark their achievements in singing.

If you are a student at St Matthew’s then we’d love to hear

of your achievements or see photos loaded onto the site.
